The maintenance of the embargo is inappropriate and needs to be promptly removed in its entirety, spokesperson Hang said at the ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on November 8.

The lifting of the embargo will meet the aspirations and legitimate interests of Cuban people, as well as contribute to development, peace, and stability in the Americas, she said.
